Chapter 1: Shadow is Created
[Space colony ARK]
"Now, Shadow!" said the blue hedgehog, Sonic.
The two hedgehogs, Sonic and Shadow, have just destroyed the biolizard, a prototype for the ultimate life form. Using the legendary chaos emeralds, the blue blur, and the current "ultimate life form" destroyed the giant orange lizard in their "super form." Shadow learned the power of chaos emeralds, and taught Sonic how to "chaos control." Now, with the ARK heading towards earth at a tremendous speed, the two were about to dangerously chaos control to stop it.
"Chaos control!" They both yelled.
The two flew at the ARK and a blinding light occurred. When the light disappeared, the ARK was blasted back into orbit. However, Sonic felt that something was wrong. Something... missing. He looked around. Shadow was missing.
Shadow's flashback
By Sonic Hero
Shadow got thrown back from the ARK, heading through the Earth's atmosphere. He closed his eyes and tried to go trough his life. The good times, the hard times. One... last... time...
[Flashback: Gerald Robotnik's lab]
.....wha...what's happening?...who...who am I?...Where... am I?
"I am creating you, Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate life form. You are in my lab" replied a voice from nowhere.
Shadow.......Shadow......ultimate life form? Is this true?.....wait...who are you?
"I am Dr. Gerald Robotnik, scientific genius." Said the voice, once again.
Robotnik...genius...
This is Gerald Robotnik's lab, located in the heart of the space colony ARK. The date is around 60 years ago. Lately, a genius scientist has been working on an interesting project. He claims it to be the world's ultimate life form – Project Shadow.
The new creation finally opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. He was standing on a small platform floating above a large hole that seemed to go on forever. The room was large, too. About 25 yards. It was dark, creepy, and it had wires hanging down from the ceiling.
And finally, about 10 feet away from him, he saw a man with a large mustache and a white lab coat, sitting on another floating platform in an office chair. The platform had a control panel with lots of switches and labels on it.
"At last, after years of hard work, you're completed," he said.
Congratulations, doctor Robotnik.
"Now the only thing left is to-"
"...grandpa? Are you in here?"
There was a muffled voice by the doorway. The doctor spun in his chair toward the voice.
"Maria! I told you not to come in here while I'm working!" yelled Robotnik. "I'm in the middle of something really important!"
Shadow turned to the doorway. Standing in the middle of the doorway was a small girl little girl. About 7 years old. She was looking at Shadow with a smile.
"Who is this?" She said. "One of your new friends?"
"This..." started the scientist. "Is Shadow. I just finished him."
"A playmate? Yay!" said the joyous Maria. "Can I play with him?"
"What!?!" said Gerald. "He's a powerful death machine!"
"Oh come on, grandpa!" Said Maria, disappointed. "Please!"
"All right, Maria. We'll see how he reacts with other people," Said Gerald. "Oh, Shadow, this is my granddaughter, Maria."
"Hello Shadow." said Maria, with a sweet smile on her face.
...Hello...Maria...
Shadow leapt from his platform all the way to the doorway. The both of them walked through a long hallway, then finally to another large room with glass walls looking out at the stars and planets of outer space.
...Maria.......What is that large, blue thing over there?
Maria giggled. "That's Earth, silly." She looked at Shadow. "You didn't know that?"
.........no...I guess not...
"Wow..." Maria said, looking out the window. "...What...do you know?"
...Gerald...master scientist...Maria...strange room......
Maria looked at him, as if she thought he wasn't done. "...That's all? Wow." She said. "...would you like me to teach you about Earth, the planet we came from?"
Shadow looked down.
Maria...earth.......
He looked back at Maria, with a small smile on his face.
...okay...
"Yay!" said Maria, as happy as she was before. "Let's go!"
She grabbed Shadow by the wrist and ran down the hallway, going past the door where Gerald was. He saw them pass his open door, and then pulled out a book from one of the compartments of the control panel. Then he pulled a pen out from another compartment. He found and empty page in his book and started writing.
Today I have finally finished project Shadow. He doesn't speak often, but his deep voice sounds intimidating. Excellent.
However, my granddaughter, Maria came in at the wrong time. She asked to play with my newest weapon. Regretfully, I let her. Right now, Shadow and Maria just flew past my doorway. We're they... playing together? I most certainly hope not. I hope this "playing around" doesn't change Shadow. He is made a machine. Not a play toy. Let's make it stay that way.
Will Shadow really change? Will Professor Gerald allow it? How does Maria die? Tune in next time for the next installment...
